Erasmus Grants

PROGRAM FOR PERMANENT LEARNING: ERASMUS SUBPROGRAMThe general objective of the new General Permanent Learning Program is to contribute to the development of the Community as an advanced knowledge society through permanent learning, with a sustainable economic growth, more and better work posts and a greater social cohesion whilst at the same time guaranteeing the protection of the environment for future generations. In particular, it tries to stimulate exchange, cooperation and mobility between the systems of education and training within the Community, so that it becomes a reference for global quality.

The Permanent Learning Program was established to tackle the modernization and adaptation between the systems of education and training of the Member States, in particular in the context of the strategic Lisbon Objectives, and contributes European added value directly to the individual citizens that participate in their mobility and in other cooperation activities.
